Every time a cease fire is signed, the Vikings will surprise attack me or the Americans the very next turn, often with nuclear weapons,” Lycerius wrote on Reddit. All other nations have been destroyed or absorbed. His Celts are locked in a 1,700-year war with the Vikings and the Americans. Now in the year 3991, his world is down to three super-nations, each competing for dwindling resources, and a planet left scarred by multiple nuclear wars.
